Latin II Exam

After all the exams were graded and the scores were compared, the NLE determined which questions on each exam the majority of students answered correctly (easiest questions) and which questions had the most incorrect answers (hardiest questions). These are the questions which proved to be the most challenging and the easiest on each of the levels of the 1997 National Latin Exam.
